Pennsylvania Ag Discovery Center Capital Campaign
The PA Ag Discovery Center aims to raise $26M to construct a new facility to help shape the future of agriculture in PA. The project has already received over $1M in seed money and overwhelming support from both public officials and businesses within the ag community. Click below to review the case for support.
The PA Ag Discovery Center will be located in Adams County, just outside of Gettysburg. This is an ideal location due to the region's large draw of tourists, school groups, and local residents. This one-of-a-kind facility is not only unique to Pennsylvania but to all of the northeast.
Agriculture is the backbone of America.
It plays an especially vital role in the state of Pennsylvania.
- Agriculture is the number one industry outside of tourism in the state.
- Agriculture contributes more than $135B annually to the state's economy.
- More than 580,000 people in Pennsylvania work in the agriculture industry.
The 25,00 sq. ft. facility will highlight the diversity and importance of agriculture throughout the state. From apples to zucchini and mushrooms to hardwoods, Pennsylvania is a leader in agriculture. We will be a destination location to connect consumers to where their food and products come from and to explore careers in the ag industry.
The PA Ag Discovery Center will include interactive exhibits exhibits such as:
- Immersive 4-D Theater
- STEM Learning Labs
- Greenhouse and Sensory Gardens
- Outdoor Play Space
- Buildings highlighting livestock and crops
- Showcase for Careers in Agriculture
Your contribution to our capital campaign will bring to life a truly unique facility that will help support the crucial role of agriculture in Pennsylvania.
